So I started reading up on this dwm-1 and from what I can tell the desktop windows manager (dwm) has a lot of responsibilities when a computer is being used and it is a way for the dwm to differentiate between the services it provides. DWM.exe is the parent and DWM-1, 2, 3, and so on are the children.

In my case dwm-1 is running the notification window that slides out from the right side of the desktop. From this article:

It looks like as long as you see local or console in the session name your okay, but if you see remote logon via RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) you'd better check into that especially if you weren't expecting a remote log-on.
